I've eaten next to nothing today and the damned website says I've used all my calories
Advertisements [?]
The denomination has this website, intended to make us fat clergy healthy. You fill in a profile, and then it suggests a weight range and a number of calories you should eat each day. It says I should eat 1200-1300 calories or exercise more.

Then you log in what you've eaten and it counts the calories. Today I had a donut and orange juice for breakfast (not healthy, I know, but that's what I had). Lunch with a colleague--grilled cheese and tomato bisque. Supper--boca burger on whole wheat, broccoli, and an apple. It says I'm at 1278 calories. I haven't had any snacks, and this damn website is nuts if it thinks I'm not eating something before I go to bed.

So, I guess I have to exercise more.

Oh, and if you do what the damn thing tells you for a month, they give you $50.00. Most people think it's ultimately going to effect insurance premiums. Which would be WAAAYY too big brother for my tastes.

I'm going to have something to eat. Popcorn maybe. Care to join me?
